"Trump is the best friend Latinos & Hispanics ever had"

(From my local TV news this morning)

Trump is planning a rally in Rio Rancho, NM on Monday, Sept. 16, at the Santa Ana Star Center
(a 7,000-seat facility) about 14 miles northeast of downtown Albuquerque.

This will be Trump's first visit to New Mexico since October 2016 when he campaigned inside a hangar near the Albuquerque International Airport. He also held a rally in May 2016 at the Albuquerque Convention Center. That rally made national headlines after violent anti-Trump protests erupted outside.

Trump’s campaign spokesperson said on our local TV news today that Trump is bringing the message that Trump is the best friend Latinos & Hispanics ever had. Thanks to Trump, the spokesman said, due to Trump’s economic policies fewer Latinos & Hispanics are on ‘food stamps and welfare’ because they now work.

And, so he said, Trump is protecting their jobs from being taken by illegal immigrants.
That's what Trump plans to tell New Mexicans next Monday.

Not sure this will be received well, and I suspect most of his audience will be white racists.
